Evan Friss on the Enduring Power of ‘The Bookshop’
Manage episode 436683387 series 2489871
The smell of ink on paper. The handwritten staff recommendations. The plan to only buy one book, and the inevitable exit with five. Visiting a brick-and-mortar bookstore is not just a serotonin-releasing individual experience. Bookstores build community among the aspiring writer employee, the bookworm regular and everyone else who has “an attachment to the store and the store to them.” That’s according to Evan Friss, author of “The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstore.” We’ll talk with Friss and with some California bookshop owners about the communities they serve, and we’ll hear from you: What’s your favorite bookstore? Why?
Guests:
Evan Friss, professor of history, James Madison University; author, "The Bookshop: A History of the American Bookstores
Brad Johnson, owner of East Bay Booksellers in Oakland
Jhoanna Belfer, owner and head booknerd, Bel Canto Books in Long Beach
